Microsoft announced this Wednesday (22) a change in the way optional updates are distributed to users of the Windows 11 operating system, in addition to also announcing which builds of Windows 10 will no longer receive these updates from April this year, according to the developer’s schedule.

According to information from the Redmond giant, the traditional Patch Tuesday released on the second Tuesday of each month will continue to be released on that date, however, cumulative updates will be made available to users of the latest generation of software, a change that begins to take effect from next month.

Optional updates used to be released in the 3rd or 4th week of the month, but the company decided to standardize the arrival of this update by keeping it exclusively in the last week. This package fixes simple bugs reported by the user community improving performance, which is why it is so awaited by those who use the system assiduously.

Microsoft also claims that Windows 10 versions 10H20 and 2H21 no longer support preview security updates, although they continue to receive monthly security improvements. Big tech didn’t reveal more details on its blog, so we believe these are the only recent Windows news.
